Jeezuuus, get a room will ya? In today’s news got a stuck cat out of a tree in Leominster, Massachusetts. This was an escaped young female indoor cat who doesn’t know how to back down a trunk. Before I got there a local feral cat climbed to the top of the backyard Norway maple she was perched in and hung out with her for two hours. When he went down she tried to follow but couldn’t do it. I got her about an hour after that. Almost as romantic as this touching 3-way love fest you guys have been whiling away your day on ;-)

I’m not sharing, no way.
Me and one of my pups headed upstream and went up a little side draw I haven't been up before...The fungi are starting to bloom and I found 2 cool trees I haven't seen before. The twisty Red is about 7 ft DBH and is sitting up near the ridge where the weather has been beating the shit out of it for a very long time. The Fir is a legit old growth and looks to also be around 7 ft DBH, and hold its taper for ever,. A seriously beast....

I lived in espanola in 97. worked on a small horse operation as well as doing tree work. Shovelled shit at the appaloosa place and slept in a little apartment off the stables. Worked at Allied tree service. Did a lot of fences. When we did bucket work, my job was to hold the piece while the other guy cut. I would then throw. Pretty effective way to get a tree down honestly. Beautiful place. I got one good ass whipping while I was there. Just a random beatdown. I learned something I think that day. For a couple months I had a job as a substitute teacher too! I was straight out of high school but they needed people so badly that a high school diploma was enough. I ended up in the high school a couple of times one year older than the students. That was funny. I rode horses and played basketball every day. I really fell in love with the place and had a hard time leaving.
Yea there is something very special about Northern NM....The land, the people, the culture, the art, the food (oh my god the food). The place opened its arms to me and embraced me the very 1st day I was there. I lived in a lot of different locations in northern NM and if I wasn't where I am I would probably be up on the backside of Wheeler Peak (13,161 Ft) living in the mountains near Eagles Nest or up in Mora County.
Heres some photos of a piece of NM history. The Dorsey mansion is in Mountain Spring outside Springer on the way up to Raton..My good friend Betty Paul caretaker the place... The log cabin is from before statehood and the Goth looking stone sections came later...Spent many nights in that old place and I can tell ya there are ghost in that place... For realz...I would encourage anyone to read about Governor Dorsey. Dude wrote himself a 1,000,000 acre fraudulent land grant and stole cattle from all the local ranchers..A criminal of epic proportions.....

Climbed with my buddy Jon today. He was injured in Iraq and was thrilled to leave the wheel chair behind. He climbed approximately 65'!
Awesome man. Great day for it too!

Back in the early 90's my wife was getting a Masters at Boston College so we were living in Cleveland Circle in Brookline, and I was posing as an arborist for some outfit in Lexington....Worked with a bunch of hilarious knuckle headed rednecks from Billerica and New Hampshire... My very 1st morning some dude on the crew walked up to me and says "my name is Buck, I drive a truck, and I dont give a fuck"...Casey Affleck nailed these dudes...

I'm in Billerica frequently, next town over from me. The local brush/chip dump there is run by "Community Tree Service", great folks, took them about a year to get used to me, but we're good now ;-) I'll be unloading brush there today.

Yeah, I talk funny. And the New England way is be suspicious for at least a year when you meet someone new. Basically treat you like crap until you give you them a reason not to. I'm completely screwed up, born here yet like people. Most of the time.
